Our Leadership

iNetwork’s priorities are steered by the Executive Board with direction from the Network Leadership Groups. Each iNetwork programme has a Network Leadership Group which consists of iNetwork members who are leading practitioners in their field. The NLGs serve as both a programme board and a leadership forum for collaboration across the local public sector.
